Knowledge Tools for Global Philanthropy
As a guest blogger for the Council on Foundations' RE: Philanthropy, Lisa Philp shares knowledge tools to help global grantmakers. Here is an excerpt:
Four years ago, when I was a philanthropic adviser at a private bank, I spoke to The New York Times for an article on global giving. In my work with wealthy families in the United States and around the world, I was seeing a growing trend of cross-border giving. Part of this was related to the globalization of businesses that generated wealth, coupled with greater exposure to widespread need. Some was a result of diaspora giving as immigrant entrepreneurs funded projects in their countries of origin. Another factor was an increasing recognition that grants of all sizes could stretch further in the developing world.
